yes my captain! :o) I cross-compile from Linux.

The first problem I found was trying to statically link magrit to the dependencies (i.e. boost) in order to ease the installation for Windows but I didn't succeed. I guess we can afford ourselves to install the dependencies along with the executable in Windows? (3 boost libraries so far: program-options and 2 transitive deps of that one).

My second problem is regarding platform nuances. There are some paths (e.g. /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/) and some library suffixes (e.g.: gcc45-1_46_1) that add a bit of noise to the Makefile. I was wondering if Ubuntu or whatever are using the same conventions?
